Making the most of your land – a practical field day on soil improvement, dealing with weeds and creating sustainable grazing systems

Join Perth NRM and the Shire of Mundaring for this free informative field day in Parkerville with like-minded landholders to dig into local soils, weed management, as well as grazing systems that work.

Belinda Taylor from Hoof Hearted Hoof Care will present on the day and answer your questions about your property. Belinda is an agricultural scientist specialising in pasture management and creating sustainable grazing systems for small properties.

Topics:

  • Grazing systems for different animals, soil types and conditions (including drought and waterlogged soils)
  • Why, how and when to test your soil and what it can tell you
  • Weed control without using chemicals
  • Improving soil health by understanding the soil microbiome

Background:

Around 60,000 small landholders steward the care of 650,000 hectares in WA. Many of these landholders face serious environmental challenges such as drought, pests, weeds and climate change. But they also have a wonderful opportunity to play an important role in improving the environment for the benefit of future generations. Perth NRM and its partners are committed to assisting landholders in their journey by creating meaningful programs and activities that lead to improving the natural resources in our region.


 

Soil Wise is funded by the National Landcare Program Smart Farms Small Grants – an Australian Government initiative. It is supported by Healthy Estuaries WA – a State Government program.

Perth NRM and RegenWA acknowledge the significant early support of the State Natural Resource Management Program, and its critical role in establishing RegenWA.
